SURRENDERING THE OFFICES.
Ayres and Morrison Yield Without Further
Protest to Irwin and Wagner.

The clerks engaged in the recount brought
about by the election quo warranto proceedings
completed their work on their tally sheets yes
terday morning. The official footings are as
follows For criminal judge, Irwin. 14,056:
Ayers. 14,0l7; Twins official majority So For
coroner. Wagner, 13 969; Morrison, 13, 939. Civ
ing Wagner majority of so. When the result
of the recount announced by the court the
contestants held a consultation, in which they
agreed to file no executions. and make no further
protest against surrendering their respective
offices. There was dispute as to who should
pay the costs of the proceedings. and it was
finally agreed by all concerned that the bill
should be divided equally between tho four men.
The court costs will, of course have 10 be taxed
to the defendants but they will be assisted in it's
payment by the plaintiffs Irwin and Wagner,
with the understanding that the matter is to
drop whore it is. The plaintiffs have determined
to file no claim for damages for having been kept
out of their offices.
The transfers of the Offices will be made this
morning. What changes there viii be in tho
clerkshlps have not yet been determined upon.
Judge Irwin will appoint now court bailiff, and
has several persons in view. Captain 0 Donneli,
for the present at least. will be retained as filing
clerk. Dr. Wagner also announces that he will
not determine upon his deputy for several DAYS.
The recoiint throughout was very accurate AL
together, less than twenty Ave exceptions were
taken, and should there have been an appeal,
with favorable ruling in each one, the result
could not have been changed.

Indiana, and had packed her household goods
Wednesday, in order to have them removed to
Charleston whence she expected to start to day.
She had employed a neighbor, named Fl. l..
Brandenberg, to convey her thither. Mr.. Good
man. who has been the lookout for spare
rib for some time past heard of her. and
arrived at Brandenbergs just as he
his fair load, asked permission to ride, and, the
widow raising objections, he climbed in be-
side her. All went very we'll for a time, but
afterwards Brandenberg noticed the quilt in the
sled that had, until within a few moments been
only sufficient for the widow, was doing service
for both, and he could hear muflled whispers.
AS a ruse to get nearer he complained of cold
and walked beside the sled where he could hear
and where he shortly was aware of a proposal

Belle Bov..s yinanc,a, troubles.

The published statement that Nelson Watt a
townsville hotel keeper. was in the city in search
of property of Belle Boyd. the rebel spy, for the
purpose of taking possession Of it by capais. to
secure unpaid hotel bill, caused
the lady to return to Indianapolis last night
from Charlottesville to have the matter straight
ened up. She claims that she was msrepre-
sented and that the baggage was wrongfully
detained at the Union Depot in
this city. The misunderstanding regarding
the matter has been rectifed, but the publica-
ton of the story, besides its annoyance, caused
the lady to cancel her engagement at era wfords-
vile last night for tho purpose of coming back
to this city to look after the matter.

ST. Louis, Jan. 17.-Meyer Kaufman we'll
known commission merchant residing at No.
1427 South Broadway, arrived in the city yes
terday. from Cuba, after an experience there
which he will not soon forgot. and for which he
will ask the United States to demand of tho
Spanish government the sum of $50. 900. Mr.
Kaufman left this city in the early part of last
month for Mexico and, when at Vera Cruz OBJ
tanned a passport to Cuba for himself ard an in
terpreter named John Fura. Immediately upon
his arrival at Havana Spanish officer approached
him. and, without explanation of any kind,
lugged him off to Jail and locked him up.
1t was some time before he compre-
hended the situation, but he explained as
best he could that there was q mistake some
where. He did not at first mind the matter
thinking that his explanatian would result in hi s
release in very short time. Two or three q avs
passed and ne was still confined in the Jail, hav-
ing no place whereon to lie bat the tagging of

arrested as a man named Meyer and the clew

THE INDIANA SITUATION.
MIR. Holnlan's View.

New York Times
In our Washington dispatches will be found
Mr.. Homans views of the probable outcome of
the senatorial contest in Indiana. Its net result
will be the seating of Senator Harrison. and.
since every coolheaded and wel-informed Dem
ocrat in Indiana understands this perfectly
well, we may be permitted to ask what possesses
the Democratic managers to go through the farce
of an election by joint convention of their
own9 If it be done for the sake os making a
precedent, can they not see that tine precedent
of failure will be much more effective than the
precedent of the attempt We venture to say
that If there were not the hope that Demo
cratic Senator would increase the chances of
spoils in the State there would be no such foolish
Plating to get one. And vet the Democrats
have had about all the spoiis to be had in Ind-
ana, and they lost the State in consequence.

A Question Concerning Green Smith.

The point las been made that if Mr.. Smith is
Lieutenant governor. as is claimed in his com
plant, that by the acceptance of that Office he af
fects the Office OF Senator, and has no right to
vote as a Senator, which will form another in
teresting dilemma for the Democracy, even
though he assumes merely the designation s'act
ing Lieutenant governor This view is
strengthened by Article 3 of the Constitution,
which provides that one holding office in one de-
par.neRt of the government shall not discharge
any duties belonging 10 another department of
government. 1t follows that If MIR. Smith is
Lieutenant governor, thereby being memb Der of
the executive department, he cannot perform any
of the functions of a Senator, which Office be-
longs to the legislative department. There is
also another section which provides that no man
shall hold two lucrative Offices at the same time,
and that he cannot be both Lieutenant governor
and Senator
